The climate in Panama is tropical and there are two seasons, wet and dry. The dry season is considered Panama's summertime, and lasts from January through March. The rainy season or what is considered Panama's winter, goes from April to December. During the wet season it does not mean that rain lasts nonstop for days, but that almost each day there is some rain. What you will see is a huge black cloud approach, a downpour of rain followed by sunshine.

The Panama Canal is central to world trade. The country has much to offer with beaches, mountains, temperate climates, Rainforest and world history. There is much to explore.

Year Purchased: 2007

About: A Canadian Couple: Steve and Dianne. My wife and I are a Canadian couple who travelled to Panama in late 2006. We decided to travel to Panama because I had lived in Panama City as a child, had fond memories of the country and culture and wanted to share this history with my wife. Although English is spoken throughout the country, I resurrected what I could remember of my Spanish and put it into practice as we toured around. Not only did we have a memorable trip but we decided to make Panama our home during the winter months when we retired, even though retirement was some years away. As luck would have it, shortly after our departure from Panama we became aware of the Playa Serena Residential Resort Project, which was just getting underway with release of the first phase of the project. We were interested in the low rise beach front apartments. We decided to purchase two ocean front apartments in February 2007. In December 2008 we visited the construction site and, in the picture we are standing on the spot where the low rise building was to be constructed. We will be coming to this special getaway a few times a year, but we also wished to create an apartment that would be welcoming and offer a beachfront experience with a resort environment for others from around the world to experience this wonderful setting and everything Panama has to offer. We hope you will come and visit and that your getaway with us will be as special as we believe it should be, one that you will cherish and that you will keep coming back!
